Notes from the Meeting of 01/12/2025
TOPIC: San Luis Obispo Photo Shoot
Kaye Raul showed shots of different locations in San Luis Obispo including the Odd Fellows Hall and the Grange Hall where SLO Bytes previously held meetings and BBQ's.
She also gave some history on other shots around town.
Alan Raul shot pictures of the San Luis Obispo Train Station (Built in 1894).
His pictures included the Coast Starlight, Pacific Surfliner and a freight train.
He used his new Sony 28-70 F/2.0 zoom lens. Although heavier and more expensive than his previous 24-70 F/4.0 lens, it produced sharper and more vivid images.
The lens also focuses faster due to more and updated linear motors.
He used the latest ON1 Photo RAW 2025, Photoshop and ACDSee to enhance and modify his images.
Stanford Brown showed pictures of Mission San Luis Obispo, the Free Library, trees, different architecture types and his favorite restaurant, Novo..
John Waller showed the original French Hospital, Palm Theatre, San Luis creek area with bridges, Chong’s Candy Shop closed in 1978, now a real estate office. He then ventured to Poly Canyon to look at different architecture designs.
